REVIEW
Alan Dixon, who’s resident DJ at Savage in London, returns to Gerd Janson’s Running Back with an EP that’s unsurprisingly long on keys action. ‘Acid Drop’ gets the ball rolling, opening with a squelchy, early 80s-sounding synth bassline before unleashing a deluge of hands-in-the-air rave/Italo-house pianos from around the two-minute mark. The accompanying Swimming Mix tones down the 80s bass and adds a shimmering synth top line, giving the track something of a Balearic prog feel, while elsewhere ‘Poye Loco’ is a druggy, hazy nu-disco chugger and ‘Rudy’s Selector’ is a midtempo, contemplative piece, both also heavily laced with piano.
